When three members of Nitidus get together to form a new project, you know it has to be something special.  The original Australian line-up of Ash Fyfe, Kristian “Doc” Grondman and Marki Miklic have teamed up with our good friend Suzy Ferguson (Exile, Lustre) to create Arabela, a new venture into rock, metal and prog.

The band has bunkered themselves into Ash’s studio creating the foundations of their debut album, but they have released some demos of the work completed so far.  Check ’em out, and look for Arabela on a stage near you!

Calling all New Zealanders, if you haven’t seen Shadow Puppet in action, you’re missing the best cover band to come out of Christchurch.  The band features Nitidus’ very own Patrick Clemenger on vocals, plus his brother Luke Clemenger from Powershred on bass and ex-Nitidus drummer Tom Brownlee.

Get connected with this power trio on Facebook or Myspace to find out where they will be performing next!

Adam and Doc would like to introduce you to The Romeo Knights, their new alternative rock trio with former Immersion bass player Ben Howland.  Building on the Nitidus heritage, the group have been busily performing at nearly every venue in Melbourne.

The Knights have just released their debut self titled EP, available now on iTunes.  Download yourself a copy today!

With Nitidus now officially on indefinite hiatus, Marki, Adam and myself (Doc) have reformed under the name Shotgun Zero.

After performing several shows as a three piece (including an incredible show with the Hoodoo Gurus) and writing some exciting new songs, it became clear that the Nitidus name was no longer relevant to the band we have become.  It has been a long and gruelling struggle to find a new name, but we finally picked Shotgun Zero and are now moving ahead to create more new sounds.

Be sure to subscribe to the Shotgun Zero blog to get all the latest news on upcoming Shotgun Zero events.

Spread the word, Shotgun Zero is here and ready to rock your world!

This is what they call a ‘tease’. 🙂

Check back soon for the full reveal.
